    I don't mind Normal Nutz, as long as they add the prefix "Smaller Than".

    The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert's political satire funhouse


    That is also an apt desciption of Rush Limbaugh's show, correct?

    I think this team relocated. They used to be in Effington, but:


    fans were f'ing in their yards,

    f'ing in their cars

    f'ing in the trailers and the backroads and the parking lots of Effington

    So the team made it's way to Normal, Illinois

    Why not capitalize on the popularity of Colbert?


    It worked well when the board of tourism used Warren Harding's campaign slogan.

    This is a total rip-off, another team in Illinois already named themselves after Jon Stewart.


    The Champaign One-of-them-funny-ha-ha-Jews start play next season.

    Meanwhile, Craig Kilborn hopes to get a callback for that hemmoroid ad. He believes he nailed the audition.

    The only thing left for Colbert to have named after him is a disease.

    I agree they should name the team in honor of Colbert.


    Normal CoatTailers has a nice ring to it.

    @LittleWaynesBleedingHead:


    My sister is a senior and a Chi-Omega at BU. I loathe both towns, but if I had a choice, Peoria has a taller bridge to throw myself off of.


    Go Braves.

    @ErnestGrahamGoesToVoluntaryMin...: See, I thin they are just about the same place, except you know Peoria is loaded with WHORES! No for real, more whores per capita than anywhere else in America. So there's something to hang your hat on.
